A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 404: More precious
In the third grade class, there is a wooden box studded with jewels on the desk.
"Why does it look familiar?" Ginny whispered. Next to her sat a little witch with fluffy hair, who looked like she was still awake.
Felix tapped the lid of the box with his wand, and the wooden box creaked open, revealing the rough wooden goblet inside. All the quills in the hands of a student fell out.
"Goblet of Fire!?"
Sounds of uniform inhalation. A student yelled out in surprise, looking in disbelief at the quietly burning blue flame on the goblet.
Felix smiled. "Of course...not," he gasped.
"The Goblet of Fire has been extinguished. This is an imitation. When I was walking on the edge of the Forbidden Forest, I picked up a piece of wood. At that time, I was wondering how to arouse your interest..." He said with a smile: "So I want to take the opportunity of the competition to create a souvenir."
All the students were sitting upright, staring at him intently.
"This is the prize for today's quiz. Beforehand, the flames on this are not dangerous,"
"Professor Haipu, is this Gublai Immortal Fire?"
"No, it's a kind of flame that burns forever, so it's also called the eternal flame," Felix explained, "Although I can also cast it, it's still quite time-consuming to operate..."
The students couldn't help feeling a little disappointed when they saw the professor's troublesome expression.
"Although it's not the ancient fire of immortal fire, it also has its own advantages." Felix added.
He put his finger into the flame of the goblet, took out a cluster of small blue flames, watched it burn quietly in his hand, and it took a long time before it gradually disappeared.
When I looked up again, I bumped into pairs of eyes shining with stars.
He smiled slightly. It seems that the one-time props that took five minutes to make worked well. The only problem is, what name should be used next time. "Then, let's start today's quiz. Take out the 'answer parchment', and I'll update the latest assessment information on it..."
The little wizards below took action one after another, spread out the answering parchment, tapped the tip of their staff, and recited the spell silently. Soon, they discovered a new symbol in the area of the ancient rune—the shape happened to be in a simple Goblet of Fire outlined by ink lines.
Ginny quickly clicked on it. She wanted the Goblet of Fire model very much. At this moment, her hands were trembling with excitement, and she poked twice with her wand, so powerful that one wondered if she would poke the thin parchment. break.
But so far no students have done this, because the professors have personally cast powerful strengthening spells on it.
The Goblet of Fire logo on the answering parchment was lighted up slowly, a dancing blue flame was burning from the mouth of the cup, and then a gift box with a blue bow was spit out from the inside, the gift box was on the paper Zooming in continuously, in her surprised eyes, blue light gathered from above the parchment, and then the parchment rolled into a whirlpool, and the gift box slowly rose from the whirlpool, appearing in reality.
She recognized it as magic, because the surface of the gift box didn't look real, shimmering with blue ripples.
She took a quick look around, and the others, including the confused Luna, were all staring at the gift box lifted up by the whirlpool, although she wasn't sure if her good friend had broken away from her usual state.
Ginny touched Luna lightly with her shoulder, "Who is faster between us!"
"Okay," Luna said, giving her a blank look before looking down to reveal a tiny braid in the shaggy hair.
The gift box was opened silently, and inside was a bronze book, which was locked. She tried to use the unlocking spell, but it didn't work at all. "I'm so stupid." She patted herself on the forehead, and used her wand to draw a few runes on the cover of the bronze book - which happened to be blank - and the lock disappeared without a sound.
Turn to the first page and there is a question written on it, "Your motto?"
She quickly wrote on it: "Attack like a lion." She didn't realize something was wrong until she finished writing. She stared at the light blue-green page for two seconds, and there was no change on it. She realized What, quickly translate this sentence into ancient runes.
Fortunately, she asked Luna this question.
Then the bronze book turned to the next page, and she took advantage of this gap to sneak a glance at Luna. Her answer was completely different from hers, but she also passed the level smoothly, which made Ginny realize that the answer was not unique.
She restrained her other emotions and looked at the second page intently. On it was a string of scattered rune characters, and at the top was a sentence: "I was disrupted in order." She quickly recalled the rune characters on it , there was one she didn't know, but she already knew the answer, it was a sentence from the text 'Gnar and the Clay Doll'.
When she fiddled with a deeply hidden rune from the pattern on the page, she let out a long breath. From the corner of her eye, she saw that Luna had turned to the third page, and she couldn't help feeling anxious.
As time passed, Felix sat very leisurely on the chair beside the podium, sorting out his rune book, standing up occasionally, walking around the classroom to see the progress of the students.
Currently the fastest is Luna, followed by Ginny and Colin Creevey. There are quite a few young wizards in the first and second grades, and after the end of the first competition, the members have tended to spread towards the senior grades.
The performance of the three is slightly different.
Luna shook her head slightly, answering the questions in a leisurely manner, and sometimes adjusted the order of the sentences to make them as neat as possible. Ginny and Colin were sweating profusely, the youngest Weasley girl's fiery red hair stuck to her forehead.
"There are still ten minutes, and the overtime will be counted." Felix reminded.
Ginny was sweating anxiously. There were not a few pages left in the bronze book in front of her, but it was getting harder and harder. The red flames on the podium complement each other with the Goblet of Fire on the podium.
Too late...
Ginny thought, Luna seems to have been quiet for a long time, has she finished her answer? Why didn't you hear the report? She forced herself to forget about it all, to eliminate distractions, and after five minutes, she finally finished the answer.
In an instant, the bronze book "Hua La La" turned to the first page, and finally closed, a blue swirl appeared on the "answer parchment" again, and a large number of colorful fireworks gushed out from it.
The sudden noise caused the little wizards to look up at Ginny's position in a daze.
"Oh, it looks like the first person to finish has appeared," and before she knew it, Felix was standing in front of her, holding a crude wooden replica of the Goblet of Fire, dancing with dazzling blue Flame, "Here, this is yours, Miss Weasley."
After class, the others gathered around Ginny enviously, asking her permission to touch the blue flame.
"It's so pretty...I just came close," Colin Creevey said ruefully. "I've got the last question. How about you, Luna? You've always been good at this, I thought you would Win!"
"I also stopped at the last question." Luna said in a singing voice.
"Really ~IndoMTL.com~ That question is really difficult, maybe give me another five minutes..." Colin said regretfully, "You are so lucky, Ginny...Ginny?"
Ginny was looking at Luna with scrutiny. She bit her lip and said softly, "Luna, why don't you stop and come back to the last question?"
"Oh, uh, yeah," Luna tossed her hair, "it's hard, isn't it? I've been thinking about it for a long time...it's really beautiful." She stared at the somewhat protruding eyes, looking said Goblet of Fire.
"Want it? I can give it to you," said Ginny.
"Oh, what?" Luna said in a panic, "I don't need... because, because——"
"Because she already has something more precious." Felix said gently aside, "Is that what you mean, Miss Lovegood?"
"Of course." Luna nodded hastily.
